Since I am a hardcore fan of any sound coming from the computer, I find this software amusing and fun to play with. Below are some of the features of eSpeak:

* Includes different Voices, whose characteristics can be altered.
* Can produce speech output as a WAV file.
* SSML (Speech Synthesis Markup Language) is supported (not complete), and also HTML.
* Compact size. The program and its data, including several languages, totals about 700 kbytes.
* Can translate text to phoneme codes, so it could be adapted as a front end for another speech synthesis engine.
* Potential for other languages. Several are included in varying stages of progress.
* Development tools available for producing and tuning phoneme data.
* Written in C++.

Thai software is written for OSX, Linux and Windows OS.

Firstly, I want to apologize for not updating for the pass 2 weeks. I have been away for my In-camp Training at Tuas Naval Base. I have been sailing the whole time, so when I reach home I am totally exhausted.

Here is something interesting I've just found in the net, an open source guitar pedal.
The OpenStomp Coyote-1 is an open source audio effects processor built for guitar players. With the Coyote-1 users can develop custom audio effects in software (like distortion, echo, chorus etc.), mix multiple effects to build "patches", and exchange those effects and patches with the OpenStomp community.
